Dear iLEAD Agua Dulce Families,

We were so happy to welcome back our learners last week! At iLEAD Agua Dulce, we believe in building strong relationships from day one. Our goal is to truly know every child so that we can partner with you to provide individualized support and help learners reach their dreams.

As we settle into a new routine, below are a few reminders to set us up for success this school year. As always, our team is here to support you, so please reach out to our office with questions. We are happy to support you!

Dismissal Procedures

If you choose valet, please remain in your car and have your orange slip with your learner’s name(s) and grade(s) visible in the windshield.
If you choose park-and-wait, learners are not able to walk through the garden area to walk themselves to their car. You must meet them at the fenced area, where staff can release your learner to you.
Whether you choose park-and-wait or valet, please be consistent so we have learners in the proper areas.
A friendly reminder that we have several new staff on campus. Please be sure to have your ID on you so we can be sure learners are being released safely.
Please review our drop-off/pick-up and valet procedures and map here.

Important Dates to Remember

iSUPPORT: Beginning Wednesday, September 2, at 9:00 AM in the Village

We have an amazing community of family volunteers who support our school in many ways. We hope you will attend our iSUPPORT meetings on the first Wednesday of each month. You will gain valuable information on how you can become involved, whether you volunteer in the classroom, assist on field trips, or help with planning on special event committees. iSUPPORT also helps to keep families updated on what is taking place on campus and is a great way to connect with each other. We value our volunteers! We look forward to seeing you there.

On-Campus Volunteer Orientation: Wednesday, September 2, at 9:00 AM

We love teaming up with our families to ensure the success of our learners. There are several areas on campus for our families to help, including in the classrooms as well as on field trips. In order to be a volunteer on campus, you must do the following: be fingerprinted, fill out a TB questionnaire, and attend our Volunteer Orientation. All forms will be handed out on the day of orientation. Volunteer Orientation will follow the iSupport Meeting.

Minimum Day & Back to School Night: Thursday, September 3, at 5:00-7:00 PM

Please mark your calendar for a minimum day on Thursday, September 3. On minimum days, learners are dismissed at the same time they are released on Fridays: 12:30 PM.

That evening, please plan to join us at 5:00-7:00 PM for Back to School Night. This event will help you know what to expect throughout the year, what project-based learning looks like in the classroom, the various types of assessments we use, school culture, and much more. It is a very informative evening where valuable information will be given. We look forward to seeing you there!

School Closed for Labor Day: Monday, September 7
